Mikael Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 The new plant tool seemed to work quite fine, but now it has started to crash every time I try to use it. I used a few plant symbols, shipped with the package, with some light editing. VW crashes even with the default plant symbols. Every time I try to edit the definition, it freezes. A popup seems to appear, but it is only as a (light blue) grid and I can't do anything at all. After pressing enter VW crashes. I tried to copy all layers to a new blank document template and it seemed to work just fine, but when I started to really use it, it crashed immediately. It doesn't always even show the classic windows error popup. Might this be due to the latest windows update? Quote Link to comment
Mikael Posted February 19, 2008 Author Share Posted February 19, 2008 Problem solved! I deleted all the modified plants and replaced them with new plant objects. It works now just fine. I also loaded the latest sp2r3 update. Still having one issue with plant tags: I prefer to use custom plant tag "ID-Quantity" instead of "Quantity-ID". The problem is whem I edit the plant definition, the plant tag changes to blank, and I have to edit the plant definition and plant tag again. Is there any workaround? Quote Link to comment
Keith Hadland Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 If you create new plants by duplicating an existing one from the Plant tool preferences dialogue the plant tag setting is carried through, so you only need to set the name, size, ID etc. Works fine if you use a limited symbol set for your plants.

mortlocl Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 I've had this problem too. A new install on new campus computers. I can open 2008 create a new file, use the plant placement tool and in about 8 clicks VWorks will hang. This is using the default plant symbol in a fresh install on re-imaged PCs with the latest SP2...so I wouldn't expect there to be any modified plant symbols. The local supplier thinks it because the latest graphics driver isn't installed....but I'm interested in learning any other fixes. It could well be the lack of a standalone graphics card (with dual processors) is the main reason. Quote Link to comment
Mikael Posted February 29, 2008 Author Share Posted February 29, 2008 I'm creating new plants by duplicating an existing one and it works fine, but if I modifie later something I need to set the custom tag every time, otherwise the tag is blank. This is a bug! It would be nice if you could save the custom tag as a default. Quote Link to comment
